Reviews"The most important book I'll ever read, it changed the way I thought; it changed the way I acted. It has given me courage I didn't know I had inside me. I'm one of hundreds of thousands whose lives were changed for the better." --Spike Lee "Extraordinary . . . a brilliant, painful, important book." -- The New York Times "A great book . . . Its dead level honesty, its passion, its exalted purpose, will make it stand as a monument to the most painful truth." -- The Nation "This book will have a permanent place in the literature of the Afro-American struggle." --I. F. Stone From the Hardcover edition., "Malcolm X's autobiography seemed to offer something different. His repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me; the blunt poetry of his words, his unadorned insistence on respect, promised a new and uncompromising order, martial in its discipline, forged through sheer force of will." --Barack Obama, Dreams from My Father "Extraordinary . . . a brilliant, painful, important book." -- The New York Times "A great book . . . Its dead level honesty, its passion, its exalted purpose, will make it stand as a monument to the most painful truth." -- The Nation "The most important book I'll ever read, it changed the way I thought, it changed the way I acted.

SynopsisONE OF TIME 'S TEN MOST IMPORTANT NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY In the searing pages of this classic autobiography, originally published in 1964, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and anti-integrationist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Black Muslim movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American Dream, and the inherent racism in a society that denies its nonwhite citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time. The Autobiography of Malcolm X stands as the definitive statement of a movement and a man whose work was never completed but whose message is timeless. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand America.

Should be REQUIRED reading for ALL
Many people of all races have called this book their "wake-up call" and now I join them! This is a book about an incredible MAN 1st, from beginning to end. Some are afraid of being preached to , that is NOT what this book is about...it's funny, exciting and uplifting and written in a way friends speak to each other. You NEED this book in ways you'll only understand after reading it. I read it every three years and ,unfortunately, it is ALWAYS timely.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The Autobiography of Malcolm X, revisited
The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Al Hajj Malik Shabazz; is straight forward book.This book shows the power of the human spirit, and the good that is in everyone, to transcend negative and demeaning life circumstances, and to attain a righteous, and worthwhile life living in fear of the Creator. This is whether you call that Creator God, or Allah SWT. Malcolm X, came from a disastrous family history, that not only destroyed his family, his faith, and his belief in the possibility of goodness in life. Not withstanding, all of this eliminated his hope for better in his future. He was told, he could only hope to live a marginal life, so he did. That was until he heard the message from someone who helped, him establish feelings of goodness and potential in himself. And don't many need this encouragement to begin a new life. Read this book objectively, listening to your heart, and not just this man's early actions. He was a man who loved, loved his people and wanted the very best for them. After a long journey and much soul searching, Malcolm learned that indeed all men are brothers in humanity, to be judged by their actions and not preconceived notions. If he could change, anyone can. Read this boo with an open heart, and it will change your heart.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
